Many grassland-based livestock systems are vulnerable to climate change and increases in climate variability ( ''high confidence'' ) ( [[#Dasgupta--2014|Dasgupta et al., 2014]] ; [[#Sloat--2018|Sloat et al., 2018]] ; [[#Stanimirova--2019|Stanimirova et al., 2019]] ). Decadal vegetation changes from warming and drying trends have been detected in North American grasslands, with implications for species composition, rangeland quality and economic viability of grazing livestock ( [[#Rondeau--2018|Rondeau et al., 2018]] ; [[#Reeves--2020|Reeves et al., 2020]] ). Feed quality in South Asian grasslands has been negatively affected, reducing food security ( [[#Rasul--2019|Rasul et al., 2019]] ). Increased grassland degradation has been observed in parts of Inner Mongolia ( [[#Nandintsetseg--2021|Nandintsetseg et al., 2021]] ). Changing seasonality, increasing frequency of drought and rising temperatures are affecting pastoral systems globally ( ''high confidence'' ). These and other drivers are reducing herd mobility, decreasing productivity, increasing incidence of vector borne diseases and parasites, and reducing access to water and feed ( ''high agreement'' , ''medium evidence'' ) ( [[#López-i-Gelats--2016|López-i-Gelats et al., 2016]] ; [[#Vidal-González--2018|Vidal-González and Nahhass, 2018]] ; [[#de%20Leeuw--2020|de Leeuw et al., 2020]] ).
